    178: Opt-ins, Freebies, and Lists, Oh My!

    "You don't own the socials. You serve at the pleasure of the platforms, and they could take it all away tomorrow, without any explanation, if they wanted to." Having an opt-in or a freebie AND a newsletter list is essential. When you encounter people (online or in person), you want to be able to say, "I've thought about you, and I've created something that makes your life easier. Here it is." This is one way we stay top of mind and people can find or refer you when they want/need to. Create the thing that helps your people and keep sharing it! *The only person who's going to be excited about your business (especially in the beginning) is you. Want to do this together? Creating an opt-in or a freebie is our theme for February in my membership group for coaches on their way to consistent 5K months.

    177: The Obvious Choice with Jonathan Goodman

    "Even if people should listen to you they won't unless you give them a reason to." Today, I am joined by Jonathan Goodman, creator of the Personal Trainer Development Center ($35M+ rev), fellow podcast host, and 12-time author. His latest book, The Obvious Choice: Timeless Lessons on Success, Profit, and Finding Your Way came out yesterday and I know you'll want to grab it ASAP! This episode is the perfect taster of what you can expect inside. We get into: - His "whales and minnows" philosophy - Why waypoints are more important to celebrate than goals - Why he wrote this book - Some inconvenient truths about business - Why you should always choose yourself - How to perform a 2-week test (and why you want to) - Tips to find your thing - His belief in a cycle of consistency and obsession, not "1% gains" - How you can catch yourself with a "wheels on the bus" checklist "Today, too many of us are pessimistically overinformed. Good information is not necessarily good advice for you." I have followed Jonathan for years and enjoy doing so because he is values-driven, brings a lot of clarity, and means what he says. Listen to our conversation, buy the book, and go follow him if you'd like to stay in touch @itscoachgoodman (on Instagram and Twitter). ----- ** If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to hit that subscribe button, like, and/or leave a comment.
